Review:

“In summary, I highly recommend this textbook and hope it will find its way onto the bookshelf at every veterinary emergency hospital. Even those in general practice will find it very useful when that unexpected emergency patient shows up in the lobby (at 4:45 pm on a Friday, naturally)!” (VSPN.org, 9 August 2013)

“Regardless, the second edition remains an accessible, well-written, and user-friendly text to guide practitioners in managing common small animal emergencies in any setting.” (Vet Med Today, 15 December 2013)

“Overall, the 2nd edition of SAECCM is a very practical emergency and critical care manual. It will be filling the spot in my library where my 1st edition used to sit until someone else also decided it was an excellent book.” (Australian Veterinary Journal, 1 March 2013)

“The book would be useful in practice as a first port of call in an emergency situation, particularly for recent graduates or clinicians facing an unfamiliar case out of hours.” (Veterinary Practice, 1 January 2013)
